The complete
remodeling and refurbishment of this semi-detached Victorian House in the “Toast
Rack” allowed for more practical living spaces with an emphasis on connecting
the kitchen/living area to the garden.

A new rear ground
floor extension was designed, distinguished by the contemporary sliding doors
and aluminium roof trims whilst tied into the rest of the existing house
through the use of matching red brick to the walls.

The garden, which
had previously been on two different levels, was lowered to become one level
and the level change from the front of the plot to the back, was designed as a
feature into the new extension. This
rear extension created an open-plan space for the kitchen/dining/living areas
but with definition of each zone; the kitchen was positioned on the upper level
with steps leading down to the dining and sitting area, which were partially
separated by the corner fireplace in the centre of the room.

A better
connection between the living/dining area and the garden was created through
the level threshold and large sliding doors.

The rest of the
ground floor was reconfigured and rationalized to open up the hallway and
create better built-in storage. The upper floors were also rearranged and the
whole house was refurbished.
